Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United Kingdom'Didn't like' is too strong but I found that I was not able to close one window as a climber had grown up through the gaps. Luckily it was a warm night so did not matter. The room could have done with being vacuumed as there were a few bits on the floor and a few cobwebs around. The bathroom was a bit tired looking but was clean.
The hostess was very nice and accommodating. Allowed me to stay in the breakfast room until I had to leave and I was allowed to drink as much tea as I wished. The bed was very comfy. For those that have dogs they are dog friendly which was very nice to know.

Fantastic breakfast, Caroline was absolutely lovely and very accommodating. Lovely old building with many period features - however some things could do with modernisation, not sure how limited the landlord is with this due to being a listed building.

BelgiumA separate bathroom is not per se an issue but not having an in room toilet is. The bathroom we had was not very clean (e.g. spider rags) and the shower had a lot of funghi. Time to replace the shower.

United KingdomBnB is in need of a little TLC update for the price of the stay. The private bathroom was across a hall not attached to the room so I could see other guests. Arrival was greeted by the attached nursery using the garden so as not to private or restful on arrival day. The shower turned hot on cold and cold on hot. Kettle in room brittle and needed replacing. Towels had bleach marks on them. Food from Aldi, if decanted, would never be known.
Caroline took great care of us and was a very good host. Room was beautifully decorated, and breakfast was nice .

United KingdomHonestly can't find anything that would be a justifiable moan. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here.
The most quaint looking property in a great location. Exceptionally clean. Great Breakfast. Peter, the owner was very welcoming and operates a great check in system. I love this type of olde worlde establishment; crooked walls, odd doors and creaky floor boards, right up my street. It's very tastefully decorated and welcoming. We travelled with two dogs who were made just as welcome as we were with their own blanket and a fresh bowl of water in the room. Lovely village location with some great, traditional pubs serving tasty food within walking distance. If we're in the area again we would definitely stay here.

SpainThe breakfast is excellent, apart from cereals, yogurts, a wide variety of breads and jams, Peter also prepares a delicious British Breakfast. The ambiance of the 400 year old house is charming and the garden is a great place to relax. Peter is a fantastic host, ready to advise and help if needed. All in all, totally recommendable!

United Kingdomit was a shared bathroom and toilet. That said putting en-suite in the rooms would destroy the charm of the place.
the building it’s self was amazing, so much character, uneven floors, creaking floorboards and not a square angle in the place, absolutely a step back in time to a more relaxed lifestyle.
